IN BED OF CINDER8.
gnrrUI to The Georgian.

peculiar death of two line mules, the
property Of Felix Jordan, occurred here
Saturday. Jordan, who la a colored
man. had hIs team out In charge of a
h red driver hauling cinders from a lo-
", factory. After Beveral loads had
hien hauled the fireman cleaned out
hts furnaces and had a large pile of
elnders In front of the boiler room.
The cinders turned black from air
striking them, and when the driver re
turned for another load he thought the
new cinders were old ones and drove
. the mules up on the pile. The hoofs
I and legs of the mules were roasted and
one of them died on the spot, and the
other died a short time afterwards.

J. S. NAVAL ACADEMY
BEGIN8 FALL SESSION
Annapolis, Md„ Oet. 2.—The United

(d upon the academic year of 1906-07
nth a roster of 766 midshipmen. ,
Rear Admiral James H. Sands began
:he second and last term of his ad-
nlnlstratlon as superintendent of the
taval school. He will be retired from
ictive sendee In July by virtue of age
ltnlt of 62 years.
All the middles began studies and

—After (tome distance) Scott.
A camel can go nine days without a
drink. Atlantans have just equaled
this record, but they got a hump on
themselves on the last night.
The official corkscrew was manipu
lated Monday afternoon, the official
can opener was Inserted under the lid.
Pop! Flxx! Cllnk-lty-clink! ‘There,
that’s enough. Here’s hopin’.”
Early In the afternoon the news had
spread through the sober city that the
weather man predicted a slight relief
the drought. Those who heard
slid off their stools and Into tlielr coats
and hastened to get In line.
Inside one of the favorite emporiums
of liquid luxuries there was a sound as
of some one knocking the bung out.
Through the key hole drifted the tinkle
of glasses whose rims kissed lovingly
In anticipation of the toasts to come.
To the poet, whose survival througl
nine days had made him wonder if h<
had In previous incarnation been l
cat, a memory of another lover of the
cup returned. He murmured:
’’Before tho phantom of sweet memo
ries died,
Methought a voice within the tavern
cried,
*When all the toddles are prepared
within,
'Why nods the thirsty sufferer out
side?* ”
"A-Waitln’ at the Dbor."
But to the jostling crowd on the
sidewalk who waited until the proprie
tor could dust off his bar and put on a
new apron the time seemed Intermina
ble. Down the street a hand organ was
playing and a monkey—a real monkey,
for this was after a nine days* drought
—begged for pennies. The watchers
clung to their coin. It was once more
worth while to have money. But some
one caught up the hand organ’s tune
and the crowd sang:
’’Here am I, a-waltln’ at the door.
Waitin’ at tho door, waitin’ at the door.
I’m goln* to have a dozen beers, or
more—
My, how it will upset me.
By and by, the mayor’ll send a note,
Then we’ll simply float, jolly as a goat,
Can’t stay away, to wait another day,
My thirst won't let me.”
Suddenly the sound of a key turning
In the lock Interrupted the song. Bock
swung the door of llfe-sattng station
number one. In rushed the parched
and sun-dried ones to where the foun
tain of fisx gave forth promise of plen
ty. Then they hesitated. They dldfi*
know what to order.
“All right, gents! Name It! Name
It! What's y'ours, sir?" This from the
white-aproned ones who are friends to
all the world—with the price. They
had already had their life-saver.
Visions of Bliss.
The first man to reach the bar was
undecided. Through 4 hls brain rushed
a vision of gin rlckeys with sparkling
bubbles, juleps with emerald mead
ows concealing a mine of Jce, cock
tails. with cherries red and green, tall
foam-tossed schooners spiling across
the bar. He collected himself with a
Jerk and spoke.
“Gl’mine a Manhattan, a Martini,
four beers, a gln-flzz, a quart of bub
ble ,water and a sack of salt and let
’em come all together,” he chirped.
"I'm here to stay till 10!”
The bartender eyed him In reproof.
Then he set out a tall bottle of old
bourbon, a glass and a chaser.
‘‘You’ll drink straight whisky,”
remarked. "What do you think I am?
An octopus with a thousand arms?
You get busy with that booze. There’s
others waitin’.”
8oldiers Storm the Castle.
At Broad and Alabama streets an
East Point car stopped suddenly, and
from both ends dropped soldier after
soldier, clad in khaki, and all fum
bling toward their pockets. For a mo
ment it looked like a riot, but It was
only an attack on the fort in the next
block. The news had reached Fort
McPherson and as many as could get
leave had rushed to the front.
”1 wasn't mindin’ goln' to Cuby until
now,” remarked Sergeant Boggs to
Corporal Biggs, “but to leave now
would be desertin’ in the face of the
enemy. Let’s kill some more of the
enemy. Fill ’em all up again, Char
ley. , We’ll be buyln’ Cuban beer at
fifty per in a week.”
From G o'clock to 10 the saloons were
kept too busy to mix a drink. Noth-,
ing but straight beer or whisky went
during the rush hours, and every re
quest for a fizz or a rlckey was frown
ed upon and forgotten. When the clos
ing hour arrived and the doors were
once more closed one proprietor re
marked to his white-clad assistant:
"I'll bet some of these cuburban fel
lers that arrived too late for the big
show will be roostin' on the step in the
mornln’. Well, It’s been a good day
after a long dry spell.”
But then—
They will be closed tight again on
Wednesday.

Does "total” depravity mean the same
thing as "utter” depravity, and what
does either mean? Do the members
believe In either or both?
Those were the questions before the
association Monday morning when the
name of the Rev. H. K. Pendleton,
pastor of the new Christian church,
was proposed for membership. Dr.
Pendleton rose and said:
"Brethren, I have been placed In an
awkward position. I have long want
ed to Join your body, but your consti
tution requires that I sign my name ns
subscribing to certain beliefs. Among
them Is that I believe In total heredi
tary depravity. I don’t. I can’t do It.”
There was a*long pause. The sec
retary turned over the pages of the
constitution and discovered that it was
"utter” and not "total" depravity. No
body volunteered to explain the dif
ference.
Dr. John E. White came to the res
cue. He said:
"I believe that the constitution
meant no limitations of this sort. I

that our brother’s belief on the doc

And Dr. Pendleton was elected unan
imously. The Rev. Bernard P. Smith,
also pastor of a Christian church, rose
and expressed a desire to become a
member under the same circum
stances. lie, too, had been unable to
subscribe to the doctrine of total he

High of relief as he was elected with
out having to commit himself.
"According to that constitution we
shall have to call for an expression of
faith from all our members," said Dr.
J. H. Eakes, presiding elder of the dis
trlct.
"It Is time for us to revise that con

Mack. "We ought to meet as minis

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead of
Druge.
It takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient. Instead of
resorting to the usual list of medicines.
There are some truly scientific phy
sicians among tho present generation
who recognise and treat conditions ns
they are and should be treated, regard
less of the value to their pockets.
Here’s an instance:
"Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would stay
<»n my stomach, so that I was on the
verge of starvation.
"I heard of a doctor who had n sum
mer cottage near ine—a specialist from
New York—and as a last hope, sent for
him.
"After he examined mo carefully he
advised me to try a small quantity of
Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stom
ach became stronger to eat more.
"I kept at it and gradually got so I
could ont and digest three tf aspoonfuls.
Then I began to have color In tny face,
memory became dear, where before
everything seemed a blank. My limbs
got stronger and I could walk. So 1
stoaillly recovered.
•Now, after a year on Ompe-Nuts, I

surprised ut the way I grew fleshy and
